This program was supposed to get old beat up gas guzzling junk off of the highway and into recycling where it belongs. The argument I heard was that people who owned these couldn't get a decent trade in so they could afford to buy a car. Up until they revised the list, a 2005 KIA Sorento EX was eligible for $3500. WTF? Where is the advantage in the list? This is another example of moronic legislation painted to look beneficial. The paint is peeling before the job even gets started. Great concept....really stupid in the final analysis. Why don't we get these 1982 Caprice Classics, and Crown Victorias and other V8 gas hogs that are taking up space and dragging down their owners with the cost of operation off of the streets, and not worry about the 2002 BMWs or Cadillacs, or Mercedes, that we know all the poor folk are driving around and lamenting the gas mileage. How ridiculous. Here's an idea, let's make anyone who runs for office take an IQ test, and forbid companies from buying and selling our senators and congressmen.Porsche? BMW? Mercedes? WTF?
